the dragon bastard - tala rivers

[radishearts]

Shallow river, shinning within her

Tala Bucad and Roisin Ayame :D tragic Ocs beloved of mine !! In a world where people draw energy from the ground to produce fire that could heal all wounds, to die in water is the worst fate. Worst still, to die in your lovers arms without your wedding band.

[itscomingupaces]

a random OC ask for you: what is your OC's favorite memory?

also: if they were dropped in a random city for a day with a pouch full of gold/relevant currency and no obligations whatsoever, what would they be doing?

Oh my goodness, thank you for the ask! ❤️

I'm going to use my OC Kazirah

Kazirah's favourite memory would be the time she snuck out with her sister Mahlukah and her best friend (and crush) Tala to go riding for the day, bringing along an assortment of pastries and fresh bread from the baker. Kazirah had been trying to show off her climbing skills to Tala, and ended up falling in the river they had decided to picnic near. Even though she got soaked, it was one of the most carefree days the three girls had (and it was one of the last times they could just be girls, before Tala was betrothed).

If Kazirah had a pouch full of gold and nowhere else to be, she would likely buy new tack for her horse, Dusk. She would also check the apothecary for ingredients Mahlukah might need for her medicines. Finally, she would likely use any leftover coin to see a play or concert if any were going on.

Character Lineup

A full-body lineup of all twelve Guardians! Worked really hard on this, so I’m proud of how it turned out!

Some thoughts on their character designs under the cut:

In Tagalog mythology, Tala is the goddess of the stars and the daughter of the supreme god Bathala. In my reimagining of her, she's also the deity of feasts, holidays and family. I gave her the traits of a cooked crab to tie her to feasts, as well as her relationship to Mayari.

+

In Tagalog myth, Mayari is the one-eyed goddess of the moon. In my design for her, she's a coconut crab as a reference to the Bagobo belief that a giant crab causes earthquakes by pinching a giant eel wrapped around the world. Fitting, since here she fights the serpent Bakunawa.

+

In the Ibalong epic of Bicol, Oryol is a half-serpent demigoddess with a hypnotic voice. For her reimagining, I gave her bright colors (like a sea snake) and a flower in her hair to give her a tropical look.

+

In one of the Visayan creation myths, Lidagat is the goddess of the sea. I tied a lot of my OCs to the sea, so I specifically made her deity of the deep sea and made her look like an angler fish to reflect this.

+

In one of the Visayan creation myths, Lihangin is the god of the wind. I designed him to have the traits of various types of angels, such as the six wings of a seraph, as well as a sash and halo.

+

In Tagalog belief, Mariang Makiling is the kindhearted goddess of Mt. Makiling. I wanted to reimagine her a deity of time, earth, and stability, hence the rotting flowers on her shoulder. She also has a hornbill beak since hornbill cries are used to tell time.

+

In Tagalog mythology, Anitan Tabu is the goddess of wind and rain. She's described as being fickle-minded, and I wanted to play this up by making her the deity of rivers, mystery, lies, and ambiguity. Crocodiles are sacred in some Philippine belief systems, hence her crocodile traits. It’s also a reference to the expression “crocodile tears”, meaning fake expressions of sadness.

+

In Tagalog mythology, Mapulon is the god of seasons. In my OCverse, I also made him the deity of relaxation and the protector of provincial towns, hence his rooster tail and comb-like hair.

+

Again drawing from Tagalog myth, Ikapati is the goddess of agriculture. I gave her the traits of a horse, a farm animal, as well as the attire of a farmer. I also wanted to reference the myth of the tikbalang, a creature with the head of a horse.

+

In Kapampangan myth, Mariang Sinukuan is the goddess of Mt. Arayat. She settles disputes among mortals, so I made her a deity of justice with a light motif. She has the wings of a moth and glowing eyes because of this.

+

In Cebuano legend, Mariang Kakaw is the goddess of Mt. Lantoy, named after its numerous cacao plants. I gave her a warm brown color palette to reference dried cacao beans' brown color. I also modeled her after the provincial girls often featured in Amorsolo's paintings.

+

In Visayan myths, Magwayen is the goddess of the sea who ferries the souls of the dead. I gave her the motif of estuaries (where the river transitions into the sea; death is believed to be a transition). She has the lower half of an anaconda, a sacred river-dwelling animal.

OC in 5 Gifs

Alright so @daydreamingdragonage has tagged me once again so it’s time to do this. I’m not gonna tag anyone specifically because it is really close to holidays and I hate feeling like a bother.

The last gif thing I did I used Innis so this time I’m gonna do Talakai Adaar.

Tala loves plants. Like she adores them. The girl will spend hours in Skyhold just caring for the gardens. If you can’t find her just assume she’s there, carefully moving a baby elfroot plant into a bigger pot.

Tala is a professional with swords and if there’s one nearby she has a deep need and desire to show off. She can and will start doing this scary, awesome warm up routine that she does before a training session. She has scared many recruits by doing this.

She loves the water. When she was younger she’d spend days swimming in oceans, lakes, and rivers. Even now she’ll spend evenings at camp with her feet in a nearby stream.

Tala draws, a lot. She likes to draw those she’s close to and for a while she secretly draws Josie before they begin to date. Afterwards Tala likes to sit in Josie’s office and sketch Josephine as she works.

She is super awkward. Like comically “Oh my God what are you doing?” levels of awkward. She tries, she honestly does try but it’s pitiful. Even as Inquisitor she still finds it hard to not be awkward. Halamshiral is in her nightmares for months afterwards.

snow falls, rivers flow

tala and odhran are done! my beautiful disaster dragon twins.

[huramuna]

i’ve forgotten to share two more of my ocs!

tala & odhran! they are twins!

tala is a living dragon baby.

spoilers for banshee’s lament below 😤🫵

Tala and Odhran ‘Rivers’ Targaryen.

aka the spitting images of their parents shera and aemond 👀

aka the disaster twins

[huramuna]

finished btw.... arcane art style study ft. tala.

[huramuna]

progress on tala 🥺 she looks so nakey without her hair streak

[huramuna]

arcane style study wip ft. tala

[huramuna]

thanks for answering 🥹 but I feel sad for tala and odhran because how is it fairing out for them? do they live away from shaermond? I love love love tala’s design and I feel like she ESPECIALLY resembles her mom (shaera my lightning my McQueen 😻). I’m in love with the girls (all of them specifically melinoe she’s adorable). I can imagine aemond having a hard time being away from them which makes me feel worried for the twins.

so! the twins' story is very interesting...

Shera and Aemond don't know they're alive. They both believe they were stillborn. I'm working out the specifics but they end up not being stillborn and are raised by a wetnurse from Harrenhal who absconded with them and took them to a remote Riverlands village.

So throughout the Dance and beyond, Sheramond and the twins don't know each other--

until much later, until the twins are almost adults. Aemond and Melinoë are out flying one day over Crackclaw bay and they see the Cannibal-- but he has a rider (Tala) and the Cannibal, Vhagar and Grey Ghost (Melinoë's dragon) get in a skirmish.

I'll be posting more soon about Tala's bond & connection with the Cannibal isn't like a traditional dragonrider and dragon bond.

Odhran, however, has no dragon (and he never will, they refuse to bond with him!), but he squired under a Riverlands lord and is becoming skilled as a hedge knight.

[huramuna]

can I ask a question? why do tala and odhran have the last name ‘rivers’ whilst melinoe has ‘Targaryen’? am I cracking a code 👩‍💻

Ahaha!!! you’ve caught onto my ruse!!! hehe.

spoilers for banshee’s lament below!

Tala & Odhran were born out of wedlock in the Riverlands, so they are bastards w/ the ‘Rivers’ last name. They haven’t been legitimized Targaryens (yet).

Melinoë is Shera and Aemond’s first child after being married, so she had the legitimacy of the Targaryen surname.

Thank you for your question 🥺❤️

[gabbysdawsons]

Last obscure oc ask (would they choose significant other or best friend) for all ur tvd ocs but no trick answers like “they’re best friends and significant others” (even if they are lol)

oooooh this is so hard...

 Emi Lockwood

I mean, her best friend is Tyler and I hate to say is because I adore Tala but she would save Tyler over her... Tala would like... get it though. Tyler’s the closest family she has left.

Tala Bennett

Emi for sure. And not just because she has no friends.

Luke Bennett

Best friend. Klaus is indestructible, more or less, so he will be saving the much more fragile human

Raven Claire

oho. Raven Raven Raven. Wait why is this even a question?? She literally does save her best friend over her significant other. Rip Finn, Marcel meant more to her.

Thyra Mikaelson 

Neither??? She’d let them both die if it benefited her. skdkdj.

Dorothea Bassett 

Same situation as good old Luke. Kol is not only indestructible, he’s also died several times before, what’s one more at this point?
